By definition using VNC you are running X.

The Xterm you see in VNC has nothing to do with the virtual terminals at the console (tty01-ttyxx). If you are running just a text based app, maybe using SSH would be more bandwidth friendly, though you would have to use something like screen to make your sessions persistent. -- William _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
